[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
The chipset drivers for your motherboard are most likely for download on the website of the manufacturer ...

For Intel based systems you're looking for the "Intel Inf Driver Utility" (or something along that line) for Windows 7 x64

For AMD based systems you're looking for the USB drivers package (for Windows 7 x64).

If you don't have a clue it might help if you could name the Manufacturer of your motherboard (i.e.: Gigabyte), the exact type of your motherboard (i.e.: GA-870A-UD3) and CPU type (i.e.: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T) so I/we can try to look it up for you.

Well, back in the days I installed PC Companion - which also spilled the drivers into Windows - and only updated it since then whenever it nagged about "New version of PC Companion available" ... though I never spotted it installing a newer set of drivers.

Anyway ...

If you attach your X8 to your computer with "USB-Debugging" disabled then Windows should show you a mass storage device in "Computer".

If you attach your X8 to your computer with "USB-Debugging" enabled then Windows will install the ADB bridge driver (upon first connect) so adb is able to communicate with your device.

If you attach your X8 in "Flash mode" (phone turned off, back button pressed) to your computer because it's stuck in a boot-loop Windows will install the Flash driver (upon first connect) so Flashtool is able to flash the device.

All, of course, by best using the genuine USB cable that came with your phone.

Additionally you could try this ...

Enable "USB-Debugging" (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and connect your device to the computer. Start Flashtool and select "Check drivers" from the menu ... what result do you get?

EDIT: Additionally, what version of Flashtool do you use and to where (C:\<path\to\flashtool>) did you install/put Flashtool?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahlovePL:
After checking drivers in flashtool:

And after I trying enable mass storage I get info about 'SD card safe to remove'. I will try to connect it in flash mode, but it seems to be OK with flashing.

The biggest problem is mass storage, I will check if flashtool is working now.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
That's exactly what should happen ... if you tap the button to connect in USB mass storage mode the SD card will be unmounted from Android - and a few seconds later it should show up as a new drive in START ORB -> "Computer".

As for the Flashtool output - seems the drivers are installed and found to be OK by Flashtool.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahlovePL:
Yup, but I'm waiting and nothing happens. :p

The biggest problem is mass storage.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Oh my god ... a Hewlett Packard box ...

Well, in this case you need to go to www.hp.com and search for the exact Model/Type of your rig - there should be a "Support" or "Drivers" section where you can download the drivers from HP for your particular system.

I only found a page with Motherboard Specifications relating to some HP z552.se Digital Entertainment Center box. If that's what you have standing right in front of you ... Download Drivers page - just select "Windows 7 (64-bit)" from the drop-down (though ... LOOOL HP ... there's just a Lightscribe update; no drivers or whatever else).

If it's not your system ... please search for the right one.

Edit: Going with the Motherboard Specifications from the HP page about the MSI MS-7225 ...

--> Chipset: GeForce 6150 LE chipset

Go to: http://www.geforce.com/Drivers

Set the pull-down to reflect this:

--> Onboard LAN: 10/100 Marvell 88EC031

This driver seems only to be available through Windows Update.

Since HP fails to mention what Nvidia MCP the board is using I'm unable to tell if there are vendor specific USB drivers or not.

Welcome to the "Energy" ROM collection thread !

This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Amaze !

I build my ROMs with four main goals.

Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)

Speed !!!

Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics

Stability through private beta testing before public release

I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.

This is for the GB ROM:

Stock or themed ROMs available

Rosie 5x5 Layout (tweakable)

CRT Animation + overscroll (tweakable)

Enabled GPU UI rendering

Blue highlights instead of green

Deodexed, zipaligned, tweaked

Extra Quick Settings

Improved SD card read ahead

Busybox + runparts, TitaniumBackup

Zipaligned

A few HTC Apps removed, like HTC Navigation and some widgets

A lot of junk removed

Stock HTC Kernel

Screenshot by pressing Power and Home

Advanced Power Menu

Updated hosts file for ad removal

A lot more stuff... check the changelog below

Fast... Stable.. and GREAT battery life with the stock HTC kernel

You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.

How to Flash this ROM:

- Root your device

- Install a custom recovery

- Install the downloaded ROM .zip found in post #3

- Make sure to do a Factory Reset / Wipe before installing ROM

but then wifi and BT won't work with that kernel, correct?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
They both work fine for me with the stock kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenikeman:
Nevermind.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jimczyz:
GREAT rom, smooth, fast and great looking!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] nightphobia:
Is there a place where the settings are located? I know in the MT4G you had a menu selection in settings where we could adjust the size of the app try, or is that only on 3.5?
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
It will work fine, because the file I pointed at in post #4 also contains the correct drivers for the stock kernel, in it! If you JUST flash boot.img, then yeah.. it wont work right. But if use the flasher.bat correctly, it'll also flash the required modules.

If you ever decide to flash the faux kernel, flash a zip that also contains the correct modules with it. I believe faux's kernel download, does that correctly (flash the modules).
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
That's when a ROM contains a Tweaks application. Mine currently does not...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
I have been using easy kernal flasher. So that will not work correctly right? Seems that that is just boot.img
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenikeman:
My wifi broke when just using the boot.img w/ easy kernel flasher...but it worked correctly when I used his stock kernel flasher that was attached.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Did you open it up and flash just like you do with easy kernal flasher? Post says to open it and run flash.bat. Isnt that what you do in kernal flasher? I mean I know you put the correct kernal in the kernal folder, but do you do something different here?
[HTC Amaze 4G] thenikeman:
Yep, just hooked up USB and ran Flash.bat
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Ok, so same thing but with the attached zip he posted. Will try it and report back.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Exactly... because the one I posted contains the correct modules. I explained that earlier, if you would care to actually read the post :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Seemed like exact same process to me as EKF. Boot.img already waiting in folder. Just run flash.bat if on windows. Much better CPU temp noticed immediately.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
Didn't work. I unzipped it, clicked flash.bat. It pushed 7 files it said and then went into bootloader.

Just did it again after ROM install and it worked fine. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
OP says with Stock kernel, no overclocking. Does this mean I should not DL system tuner to push it up to 1.5ghz or it won't be necessary?
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Noticed it as well.. less heat.. more battery. Slightly less performance, but at 1.5 GHZ I'm not complaining! :P

p.s. Signing off for the night.. See ya guys tomorrow with a new ROM! :) Keep bringing me the bugs!
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbymokie:
Stock kernel = no oc, 1.5GHz by default.

Personal opinion - nrg roms don't need oc, even on devices with lesser hardware, and stock kernel will be the most stable. Custom kernels can be fun, but aren't a necessity and usually break something
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
The theme on this looks friggin great! Nice work man. Will report if I find anything.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
You know, you could TRY flashing with S-ON. I don't know if the radio will flash, since I've never flashed a radio with S-ON. Try it.. what's the worst that can happen ? It'll error out ? :)

Or better yet, search around the forum and see if anybody else flashed a custom ICS rom WITHOUT s-off first. Hint.. look in mike's ROM and see if anybody was able to flash his firmware package without s-off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] psxnitro:
Crap... I started downloading your stock rom before I read the thread :eek: I wanted a themed rom (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

btw, anyway you can include the mod to turn off the leds on the soft buttons by default...:D

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

I fail to see why people are making a big deal about getting s-off :confused: Everything is automated aside from the wire trick which gives you ample time to do... When I read this ROM needed s-off I did it without hesitation. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] kaabob:
Only speaking from a successful update, but there are a few horror stories that are swaying people from S-OFF.

Just make sure

a) phone has plenty of battery in case you don't do the wire trick correctly the first few times.

b) as the instructions say -- be sure to turn off HTC Sync.

c) the windows USB plug/unplug system sound is very helpful for 1.75 sec wire trick timing!
[HTC Amaze 4G] tombeach22:
I'm confused, can I flash energy themed right over the old one with s-on?

Or are both soff?

Flashing over didn't work

Wipe then flash didn't work stuck at splash for both.

Btw if someone made a brighter splash that would be great
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
do you know how to do the "remove recent apps from notification panel" tweak? that is a HUGE annoyance, and if you used an Aroma installer you could offer both removed and kept-in versions... it would totally rock either way as I haven't seen anyone do it for ANY of the amaze roms yet, that was one of my favorite mods on the G2/DZ!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
You could flash this Rom with S-ON, just apply the ICS leak through H-boot

If you didn't get S-OFF and did this... no worrys they confirmed that you could still get S OFF with the new ics radio/hboot

Glad to see energy almost done :D

I have a tutorial up in the general section on how to flash the leak with S ON
[HTC Amaze 4G] St Veronus:
Ah, the good old days of the Aroma installer. I loved that feature from the Desire ROMS.

Can you add the home row bleeding mod to the final theme?

I new you would come thru with a custom ROM super fast. I didn't even setup the stock ICS in anticipation! Thanks again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] probablecauz69:
awesome!!!!!! i have been running your GB rom since i first rooted my phone. super psyched about your ics rom!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Who cares about that ? You can just use the built in tweaks application to remove it/install it on the fly !
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
The what..... ? lol Never heard of that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] govindar77:
Firmware

Hi NRGZ,

Is it necessary to flash the firmware if I'm already on the ICS ROM? In other words, does it contain just the radio or more ROM specific stuff?

Thanks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbcal:
No, if you flashed the ICS leak, you already have those.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
It's an installer that is integrated in the zip so that when you flash the Rom, you get to custumize how the rom will be. Also nrg will the themed version have Dsp manager and CRT?

[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Thanks Sean and NRG. I'm glad GB will work with the new radio and partitions! Okay....here we go...................:eek:
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
So is this just the stock rom after being odexed? If you did tweaks, which ones.. I've done quite a bit of tweaking to my installed leak and want to make sure that I wouldn't just be undoing those tweaks..
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Are you going to start a new ICS thread yet NRG? This is going to get pretty confusing to noobs to Energy if you don't with GB and ICS combined in this one! lol :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] lnxpro:
agreed. a new ICS thread should be started. this one has 200 pages and 197 of them are not going to be useful to the new ROM. lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
DSP probably... CRT never. ICS doesn't support it :) I know.. I miss it too.

Tweaks is the name of the app actually.

I might start a new thread.. might not be a bad idea after all.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrispaw:
Not to derail, NRG do you have any advice/guidance as how you got wifi working? I'm having trouble trying to troubleshoot my rom, it works with the exception of 1. root and 2. wifi- it is stuck on trying to obtain ip address; the latter seems like a kernel problem.

Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Well to start... did you flash the firmware package to your phone ? Two.. how did you root it ? Did you add the su binary in /xbin and link it to /bin ? Added SuperUser.apk ? Did you use dsixda's kitchen for it ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jslcpd157:
Just flashed with s-on. Working great so far!! Thanks NRG, awesome work!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
Sorry off topic

Does anyone know the default density?

grep "lcd" /system/build.prop
[HTC Amaze 4G] YungMage:
You flashed his ICS with S-ON and everything worked? did you do the ph851img file flash or just flashed normally?
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
What recovery are you using ?
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
Question NRG: Was I supposed to wipe before all of this? I didn't and when ICS finished installing, I still had my custom home screen and all of my custom folders where my apps are. I had to copy the apps back onto the internal sd card to get them to work (probably could have used Titanium) but just curious if I should have wiped first. It retained the Energy boot up animation and all my screens. That is fine with me as it is ICS now but just wondering if that was okay or I should do a clean wipe first.

Thanks for another great ROM and looking forward to the upcoming tweaks and twacks. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] chrispaw:
Yes I updated the firmware. I am rebuilding my base. It's not rooted yet, as I couldn't figure out how to get it to stick. I am using dsixda's kitchen. If you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it greatly. Thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
The general rule of thumb is to totally wipe unless you are staying on the same base. So if you were on his GB, then yea you should wipe, but if you were on his stock ICS and just upgrading to his tweaked ICS you don't have to.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I've always been told. Even if everything boots without wiping, it's still good to start fresh to get best performance.
[HTC Amaze 4G] swittindoodle:
I also flashed it with s-on
[HTC Amaze 4G] jslcpd157:
I had already flashed the ICS leak. Flashed NRGs ICS Rom on top of it. I'm on CWM recovery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eliasadrian:
I just wanted to say how awesome this ROM is, the themed ICS one. This is how I wanted ICS to look and run. I got apex launcher all set up, my tweaks how I like, and I am a happy camper. Thanks!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] AndroidAutobot:
Anyone else experiencing issues with the screen while in-call? I can't get my screen to stay on, but only while a call is active. if I'm on a call, light the screen up, it turns off the millisecond I touch it, disabling me from being able to multitask a call with anything else. The second the call drops (or pull the battery to disconnect the call) it functions just fine.

Is flash the stock RUU again to verify its with the Rom itself, but I don't want to clear my internal memory all over again and I strongly prefer cwm so I don't want to less with revolutionary to verify either.

Still running the stock energy Rom. Downloading the themed version now. I'll see if the problem still persists after flashing that.

(I'm s off)
[HTC Amaze 4G] hzm82:
lol im having a hard time choosing between the themed energy rom and revolution rom. I love all the little tweaks in Energy but the revolution rom was giving crazy good numbers in all the benchmarks. Guess the only thing to do is saved both in recovery and go back and forth between them. Thanks for your hard work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
240.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I'm getting my Amaze today. Just to confirm, we can flash with S-ON, but need to unlock the bootloader?
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
I'm uploading a new fresher version of the tweaked ICS version. I got everything how I want it. The experience will be like my tweaked gingerbread version. I will also offer a stock looking version, to show all the blind revolution followers what a tweaked stock rom should feel like :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Yes!
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
LOL... now THAT is funny, I don't care who you are... roflcopter landed on the rofl brothel!
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
is it going to be de-oxeded
[HTC Amaze 4G] ickedmel:
Lmao I will def try your version when I get home!
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
unlocking the bootloader is much harder than obtaining s-off... seriously... the problem is too many people don't read or listen before jumping head-first into certain things they should at least be wearing a helmet before attempting... haha
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
To clarify... the ONLY reason s-off is a requirement with this ROM is for the recovery to be able to flash the ROM's kernel during installation. If you're not S-OFF, it will not be able to and it will use whatever kernel you had on there before flashing.

So.. If you have the gingerbread ROM on there, of course, you'll have a GB kernel an the ROM will NOT boot.

If you already have the ICS leak installed, you're good, because the ROM will boot with that. If you already have ANY other ICS ROM on there, you're good.

So basically S-OFF is only required if you're not willing to go through the steps of installing the ICS leak RUU via the bootloader and just want to install my ROM directly.

To summarize again:

If you have the ICS leak (or any ICS ROM) installed... you can simply flash my ROM.

If you have a gingerbread or stock ROM on your phone now, you can either S-OFF and install my ROM (plus firmware package) or... follow the instruction to flash the official RUU package, THEN flash my ROM after you also flash a custom recovery :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
And I know that the 4ext recovery is able to flash a kernel in recovery, supposedly. But from what I read, it actually uses a trick to flash the kernel during the first boot. Problem is.. if your phone goes into a bootloop because you flashed an ICS ROM over a gingerbread kernel, I dont think it'll ever get the chance to actually flash the correct kernel. Please feel welcome to correct me...
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
I'm pretty sure Maxx has that angle covered... but if not, it's not like it's very difficult to remedy at that point...
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
it doesnt flash kernal during the first boot, it flashes the kernal after the rom if flashed, it says it in the log when finishing the rom flashing
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
Was going to download the Rom BUT since a newer version is being uploaded I guess ill wait.

I'm pretty sure I speak for all when I say.......I LOVE U :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] frodoboy:
NRG will this ICS ROM be able to have an advanced power menu like GB? i really like that. I can do this now with 4ext but like the option of doing so with the power button instead.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Harder maybe, but it doesn't involve bare wires to the back of my new device.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 PM ----------

Thanks for the reply. I think the best thing for me to do is flash the ICS leak, then unlock the bootloader via HTC, and flash away!

Looking forward to having this on my third device (TP2, HD2, and now Amaze!).
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Woohoo man I just love your theme nrg, looking forward to what tweaks you have in there

I found this in the rezound forums and condensed it and posted it in our general section http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1620878 It allows contact pics to show up in 3rd party apps (handcent, Google voice, etc.)

I used it for stock ICS and your themed ROM that I loaded up this morning. It's a relatively easy fix, I think, but I'm sure people would prefer it to be included. If it's possible to add in, awesome. If not, it's fairly easy to fix yourself. Thanks again!
[HTC Amaze 4G] NRGZ28:
Yes. Partially. I only deodexed the parts that themers usually touch. Frameworks... systemui.. rosie.. etc :) Leaving everything else odexed definitely gives a performance advantage :)
